Scripture Sunday: Psalm 20: 8-9

Every Sunday on this site I will take some time to look at a passage from the Bible that I like and think is great... though they could obviously be presented by themselves without further mention, I will throw my two cents in on what the verse(s) mean to me.

Today we look at these verses in Psalms, which remind us that while earthly things fade away, God is eternal, and it is He alone who allows us to stand strong.

"Some rely on chariots, others on horses, but we on the name of the Lord our God. They collapse and fall, but we stand strong and firm." (Psalm 20: 8-9)

We tend to put our hope and reliance in things such as money, other people, or on our work (among infinite other things). The problem is, eventually these things are going to let us down.

No money in the world can buy true fulfillment, no person in whom we trust and love will be perfect (except God), and no work is going to fulfill our full life mission and always fill us.

Only God can do that. It is only He who never fails us or lets us down, who is steadfast always. He might not always give us the answer that we want, but He is always listening and always doing what is best for us.

So we must always be conscious of who we rely on... if it is anything other than God, then we are in for a rude awakening at some point.
